Morgan, portrayed by Terry Gilliam, is a character in Monty Python's Flying Circus. He can be seen in the sketch: Coal Mine in Llanddarog Carmarthen, which appears in the episode: Royal Episode 13. The fourth miner runs up and asks the foreman if he can settle something. He precedes to state that Morgan affirms that you find the abacus between the triglyphs in the frieze section of the entablature of classical Greek Doric temples. The foreman goes on to assert that he's a bloody fool, insisting that's the metope, and the abacus is between the architrave and the aechinus in the capital. Subsequently, Morgan calls the foreman a stinking liar, and a fight breaks out.
